Medici Coat of Arms Linked to Money Lending Legend
The Medici family is traced to a medieval practice of lending with interest by Lombards. Averardo de Medici supposedly killed Mugello, famed for a club with three iron balls, prompting the three gilded balls as their heraldic emblem. The emblem symbolized money lending and the Medici name influenced the word medicine as a tribute to healing skill.
